Jung & Spirituality

with Warren Sibilla, Jr, PhD.

Using examples from Zen Buddhism, Warren Sibilla discusses Jung’s idea that the subjective and objective have a complementary relationship, and that this relationship is necessary in clinical practice – objective knowledge alone is not enough.

Dr. Sibilla served as the Director of the Jungian Psychotherapy/Studies Program (2010 – 2014) at the Institute (Dr. Sibilla will also be the director of the upcoming 2016-2018 cohort of the JPP/JSP) and teaches in our Analyst Training Program. He is engaged in the study and practice of Zen Buddhism including authoring a book on the relationship between Zen Buddhism and Analytical Psychology as well as a paper formally exploring Jung’s 1958 dialogue with Japanese Zen Master and Philosopher Hisamatsu.
